EXP 7 Results - May 25, 2021 (Indianapolis, IN)

We open to a shot of Dude WaLuigi in the ring, strutting and dancing to the delight (or possibly just tolerance) of the Level Up faithful.

Arthur La Forge: Well fans, we were going to do the traditional opening with Mr. Rad, but Dude WaLuigi came out during the video and no one thought to stop him.

Mary DeSue: Well, the AI tried…

Arthur La Forge: By firing off the pyro while Dude walked out.

Mary DeSue: He has too much control over every system in this arena. We need to go on tour soon.

Antonio Ricci slides into the ring, oddly dressed in street clothes. He takes the microphone from a ringside attendant and stands in the middle of the ring.

Antonio Ricci: First of all, I don’t know where the Developer is, but this a disgrace. I have said from day one that I don’t want a night of and THIS is what you give me? Everything against you, Dude Waluigi, but you are a night off.

Dude Waluigi steps forward, but the referee backs him off.

Antonio Ricci: First of all, we have the situation with Don Tirri…

Ricci motions towards the tron and the end of EXP 6 begins to play on the screen.

Tirri decides he's had enough and rolls outside, before grabbing a chair from the timekeeper's position! He slides in the chair and follows, picking it up and attempting to slam it into Ricci's skull...but Maggie stops him! He argues with her but as she goes to dump the chair outside, he hits a punt kick to the groin of Antonio Ricci! Ricci falls and Tirri covers, hooking the inside leg!

One!

Two!

Ricci gets a foot on the ropes, but Don is obscuring Lockheart's position with his body, and reaches in to pull it off!

Three!!!

Ricci snaps his fingers, bringing attention back to him.

Antonio Ricci: Fine. I get it. The office has to protect their investment, so they allow Don AARP to have the match. Maggie showed she’s amazing in between the ropes, but not all aspects of it. Then, at Combat Evolved, this travesty happened.

The tron begins playing the end of Ricci’s match with Bert MacAlroy at Combat Evolved.

He starts to pick himself up as Ricci turns around and grabs McAlroy, picking him up for what looks to be a crucifix powerbomb. He lifts Bert up only to reveal to everyone that McAlroy has a joint in his mouth! McAlroy removes it and quickly blows marijuana smoke into the face of Ricci while the referee was down!!! With the smoke stinging his eyes, Ricci's grip loosens, and McAlroy flips backward into a hurricanrana, before hooking both legs in a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREEEEE!!!! Ricci kicks out, but was it in time?!

Ricci looks at the camera, a look of disdain etched across his face.

Antonio Ricci: This is stupid. I know the referee’s insurance doesn’t include vision, but I am getting screwed worse than a 42nd Street hooker on a Friday night. So, here’s what’s going to happen. You can try to fine me for attacking an official, but you’re not going to collect any of my money. You can’t fine me if I don’t work here. That having been said… I QUIT!!!

Arthur La Forge: What a bombshell! One of the heavy hitters in Level Up just took his ball and said screw everybody!

Mary DeSue: NO! Don’t let Bert win!

Antonio Ricci: One last thing…

Ricci shoves the official out of the way and drops Dude Waluigi with the Coma-toes! Ricci calmly walks over to the ropes and steps over them, dropping to the floor and leaving through the crowd.

Arthur La Forge: Ricci just hit it and quit it!

Mary DeSue: ...maybe he’ll text later...you know...cause he’s a bad boy with a heart of gold…

Arthur La Forge: You okay Mary?

Mary DeSue: Shut up! I’m fine...

Boris immediately floors the Giant Waluigi with a thunderous spear and begins raining down heavy right hands onto his face. Each hit produces a “WAAHH” that seem to overlap, as if the giant Waluigi is a big stuffed abuse-me-Elmo! Boris pays no bind to this as he lifts the Giant up and then lifts him vertical in a stalling brainbuster! The fans cheer loudly as the continues to stall, even lowering one arm in a display of his immense strength before sending the Waluigi crashing onto his head.

Arthur La Forge: Boris Forstora is beating the hell out of Giant Waluigi!

Mary DeSue: That’s great and all, but he’s no Ricci...I’m still sad.

Boris then heads to a corner, ascending to the top rope. He plays to the crowd a moment, before bending his knees once, then again as if prepping his launch. He then leaps and nails a picture perfect phoenix splash!! He goes for the pin but yanks the Walugi’s head up before the ref can even drop down to count. Boris gets to his feet and paces, looking disgusted. He motions to the back, audibly shouting “WHAT IS THIS ALL YOU’VE GOT?!” before snatching Waluigi by his ankles and spinning him dead center in the ring!

Arthur La Forge: HE’S AIRPLANE SPINNING A SEVEN FOOTER!

Mary DeSue: Oh what girl hasn’t done that after stretch...OH SHIT!

Boris releases Waluigi, his weight and the momentum sending him flying out of the ring over the top rope! He audibly screams “WAHWAHWAHWAAAAAAAH” before crashing to the floor on the outside. Boris follows soon after, hopping out onto the arpon. He leaps from the apron with another phoenix splash!! He then rolls back into the ring, and waits for Waluigi to get up before dashing to them and leaping over with a TOPE CON HILO!!

Arthur La Forge: Did you see that Tope Ron Hilo!

Mary DeSue: No! I’m still under the desk…

Arthur La Forge: Whatcha doing?

Mary DeSue: Looking for my Yaoi paddle!

Arthur La Forge: Forget I asked!

Boris gets to his feet, looking to not have even broken a sweat as he lifts GW up and onto his shoulders. He extends his arms out, letting the Waluigi droop as if a fresh kill….he then begins to do an armless airplane spin! He then launches GW up...AND THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! The ref goes out to check on Waluigi, then calls for the bell! Boris has knocked out his opponent in his debut!!

Mr. Rad: Here is your winner...Boris Forstora!!

Arthur La Forge: What an impressive debut!

Mary DeSue: I’m still feeling down…

Arthur La Forge: I’ll buy you brownies after the show?

Mary DeSue: Artie...despite what I say sometimes you do know the right thing to say to a woman.

Brandon Hendrix vs. Sister Sin

The Messiah glares down at the smaller Sister Sin as the bell rings, but she doesn't seem at all worried about it. She begins to pace around the ring, looking for an opening. The two lock up and The Messiah turns that into a throttle, before throwing her down at the mat. He then adds in a stomp to her back for good measure before pacing around the ring. Sister Sin attempts to get up only to get a kick to the side of the head. Messiah then throws her into the ropes only to catch her with a big boot coming back!

Arthur La Forge: Brandon Hendrix, or The Messiah, or whatever he is...not playing games here in the start.


Mary DeSue: I don't know who this lady is, but it was real dumb to agree to face someone twice her size!

Sister Sin staggers to her feet and makes her way to the corner, but The Messiah follows and hits a forearm to the small of her back. He then turns her around and starts to hit body blows. That seems to wake Sin up because she begins to hit him with repeated forearms to the head. Hendrix stops that with another body blow and attempts an Irish Whip, but she stops herself from hitting the corner. He charges in and she leaps over him, turns around and hits a dropkick to the back of his head!

Arthur La Forge: Sister Sin finally created some space and now she's on the offensive.

Mary DeSue: You know I bet the people in the Midwest aren't happy seeing these two in this match.

Arthur La Forge: What do you mean?

Mary DeSue: I mean, you got this guy with the evil mask calling himself the Messiah and then this lady naming herself after Sin? We're in the Bible Belt!

Sin takes a few steps back and charges in for another drop kick only to get FLATTENED with a lariat by the Messiah. He then steps behind her and grabs her head before hitting a SICKENING neck snap! Hendrix picks her up again and puts a hand around her throat, before lifting her high in the air and hitting a chokeslam! He makes the cover!

One!

Two!

Sister Sin kicks out!

Arthur La Forge: 'The Messiah' is hitting her with a lot but so far Sin is able to stay in the match.

Mary DeSue: I mean seriously, we're gonna be condemned to hell if the wrong person finds this Twitch stream.

Arthur La Forge: Will you cut it out?

The Messiah stares down at Sister Sin, who is already trying to get to her feet. He grabs her by the wrist and guides her up, before attempting to pull her in for the End of Days. However Sister Sin manages to rotate out of it and land on her feet! She kicks Hendrix in the gut and grabs his head, spinning around with the SINFUL PRAYER! The Tornado DDT spikes the Messiah on his head! She covers!

ONE!

TWO!

And now Hendrix kicks out!

Arthur La Forge: This is gonna be back and forth I think now.

Mary DeSue: Well she's certainly done more damage than I thought she would.

Arthur La Forge: And she's not done yet!

The Messiah tries to rise again, but Sister Sin grabs his wrist and holds it in place before unleashing a series of upward kicks to his head. She grabs him and tries for Sinister Thoughts, but Hendrix not only shoves her off, but propels her in the air as he does! She comes back down and crashes hard to the mat. As she holds her ribcage in a sitting position, Messiah bulldozes her with a crossbody! He covers again!

ONE!

TWO!

THR...NO! Another kickout!

Arthur La Forge: Even if Sister Sin loses tonight, she's put up one hell of a fight and has nothing to be ashamed of.

Mary DeSue: Plus she gets to live, so there's that.

Arthur La Forge: Neck snaps should be banned, as a rule.

The Messiah gets up and grabs her again for the Reaper's Wish, but as he begins to rotate out to land it, Sin places her leg behind his to block, locks his head and spins around to hit ANOTHER SINFUL PRAYER! Hendrix begins to rise and she grabs his head and HITS A THIRD SINFUL PRAYER! But she won't let go, and decides to HIM WITH A FOURTH! That's three spinning DDTs at once and four total! Sin then jumps into a quick jackknife cover!

ONE!

TWO

THREE! MESSIAH KICKS OUT BUT IT'S NOT IN TIME!

Mr. Rad: The winner and moving onto the Skeleton Key match at Dead by Daylight is...SISTER SIN!

Arthur La Forge:Whoa! She did it!

Mary DeSue: No kidding!

Arthur La Forge: She knew exactly what she had to do. Stick and move and she dropped the guy on his head three times in a row while also making him dizzy, so that seemed to be enough to keep him down three seconds!

Mary DeSue: And ONLY three seconds, because he's getting back up!

Sin immediately moves away from Hendrix and slides to the outside, not wanting to risk injury by sticking around. As if to prove her correct, Hendrix points at her and suddenly fire blasts off the turnbuckles as smoke begins to fill the ring...but when the smoke begins to clear out...LORD RAAB IS BACK AND STANDING BEHIND HENDRIX!

Arthur La Forge: WHAT IN THE HELL?

Mary DeSue: Where did he come from? AGAIN?

Arthur La Forge: What, is he hunting monsters?

Hendrix senses that something is behind him and turns around, and stares right into the face of Lord Raab. The Masked German Monster grabs Hendrix around the throat and lifts him up into the air...HITTING HIM WITH THE CHOKEINATOR! The Messiah is down! And suddenly the lights go out again and when they come back..RAAB IS GONE.

Arthur La Forge: How in the hell is he getting in the ring? Why? What is he doing here?

Mary DeSue: And what is he gonna do next?

Arthur La Forge: Go to the ad break! Geez...

From the onset, Jennifer goes low and nails Duncan with a chop block as he’s turned toward the crowd trying to hype them up! With the bigger man down on one knee, she begins to bash him in the back of the head with forearms before leaping up and nailing him with a reverse hurricanrana! Duncan’s head is spiked hard into the mat! Jennifer rolls him over and leaps upon him for the pin, hooking both legs deep!

ONE!

TWO!!

Duncan kicks out, hands instantly going to the crown of his head and favoring it.

Arthur La Forge: Jennifer seems to be trying to get Duncan Shepard off his feet, but it’s too early to go for a pin!

Mary DeSue: n00bs!


Jennifer confers with the ref, contesting the account but the ref holds firm. She goes to get Duncan up but he yanks her legs out from under her and follows it up with a big knee drop across her midsection! Duncan gets to his feet, still favoring his head before bouncing off the ropes and nailing Williams in the side of her head with a baseball slide that sends her to the ropes! He gets to his feet, pulling her up and dragging her to the center of the ring.

Arthur La Forge: I gotta say Duncan is certainly showing he fits in well here in Level Up! He could make a great Power Champion if he makes it to the final.

Mary DeSue: Don’t knock out the new girl either Artie. Women have power moves that men only wish they could pull off.

With very little effort, Duncan lifts Jennifer up onto his shoulders and nails a running powerslam in the middle of the ring. He rises, bringing Jennifer with him only to lift her once more and drop her with a scoop slam. Duncan then bounces off the ropes once more and leaps high in the air, nailing a big leg drop. He goes for his own cover now!

ONE!

TWO!!

Jenny kicks out!!

Arthur La Forge: And Jennifer barely kicks out. This was almost over for her.

Mary DeSue: Come on gurl! Circle button! Circle button! That’s the one to kick out right?

Duncan confers with the ref but is far more accepting. He rises to his feet, signaling for the end as the crowd comes alive. The Lady Dream is slow to get up, groggy from the onslaught of offense. As she gets vertical, she stumbles and turns right into Duncan who snatches her in a fisherman’s suplex set up...REAPER’S BANE!!! Duncan confidently reaches over, hooking a leg and placing a hand on her sternum to pin

ONE

TWO!!

THREE!!!!!!

Mr. Rad: Here is your winner of this Skeleton Key Qualifying Match...Duncan Shepard!!

Arthur La Forge: And Duncan Shepard in an impressive debut move on to face off for The Power Title!

Mary DeSue: I swear if you make a He-Man reference about this belt…

Arthur La Forge: You wanna be She-Ra?

Mary DeSue: If I get to hang out with Catra hell yeah!

We cut to ringside, where multiple people walk out with trumpets in their hands and stereotypical royal outfits. They begin playing the trumpets, and Barnabus Cartwright begins making his way to the ring.

Arthur La Forge: Oh God, here we go. I had heard rumbling that there was going to be a "coronation" for Sidroy winning the Wisdom championship.

Mary DeSue: Yeah, this is going to be great!

As Barnabus makes his way into the ring, we can see a massive framed photo of Sidroy, bloodied with the Wisdom Championship held high from the end of his match with LEGION, a few presents scattered near a corner of the ring in front of a massive wrapped gift. In the center of the ring in front of the huge photo is a small podium, and in front of the podium a smaller, red velvet-covered stand with something atop it covered with a gold sheet. Barnabus grabs a microphone and approaches the podium.

BARNABUS: "Ladies and gentlemen…"

He pulls a piece of paper out of his breast pocket and urolls if, placing it on the podium as he begins.[/i]

BARNABUS: "In life there are only a handful of truly monumental moments. Each and ever one of you will now have the privilege of being part of history. I'd like to welcome you all to a man who wasn't supposed to be something in the wrestling world. A man top privileged to train. A man too young to achieve greatness. A man too rich to not be soft. Our man of the hour tonight defies all stereotypes, and has continued to prove the nay sayers wrong week after week, win after win.

Please welcome fourth of his name, first of his kind, and the FIRST EVER Level Up Wisdom Champion, MR. SIDROY COVINGTON THE FOURTH."

"You Wish" by Skepta hits, and the musicians on stage play in tune with the song. There's an explosion of confetti from the ceiling as Sidroy Covington makes his way onto the stage, dressed in a beautiful baby blue button up tucked neatly into his black dress pants. Shiny brown shoes step onto the ramp way as he stops, looking around at the crowd with an heir of superiority. Sidroy makes his way to the ring, his head still stitched and limping lightly from his altercation with LEGION before climbing the stairs and entering the ring. He gives Barnabus a hug, then walks over and gives the photo of a himself a hug as well. Barnabus walks over to the gold cloth and removes it, revealing the Wisdom Championship. Sidroy kneels as Barnabus places it over his shoulder, officially presenting him with the championship. Sidroy smiles wide and approaches the podium, championship proudly displayed on his shoulder.

COVINGTON: This is a night I've been waiting for for a long, long time. Now, there will be plenty of time for me to talk. Trust me, I have no problem reminding you lot over and over and over again that not a single one of you thought I had what it takes to hold this championship. But here I am, the inaugural Level Up Wisdom Champion, and tonight is night one in making this championship the number one title in Level Up Wrestling.

That being said! I don't want to take up the whole night, so Barnabus if you will, please pass me one of my gifts!"

Barnabus walks over and retrieves one of the gifts, that is clearly a bottle of wine sticking out of a party bag.

COVINGTON: "From - OH my Barnabus it's from Father! With a note. "You're doing quite the splendid job. Keep up the good work - Sidroy Covington the Third". My. What a beautiful gift from Father!"

Arthur La Forge: My goodness this is excessive. We have a show to get to!

Mary DeSue: Oh don't be a party pooper! I think it's great, and it's only going to get better.

Barnabus goes over and grabs a smaller box, handing it to Sidroy.

COVINGTON: "Alright what do we have here - from Mary DeSue, oh Mary you shouldn't have! Look Barnabus, it's a framed photo of the only good Level Up announcer, Mary herself!"

Arthur La Forge: Are you kidding me? You got him a gift?

Mary DeSue: Of course didn't you?

Arthur La Forge: Well, no…

Mary DeSue: That's why I'm the best announcer.

Sidroy waves to Mary with a sly smile. Barnabus then hands him two gifts.

COVINGTON: "Alright what do we have-OH. Well, it's not often I can say that I'm wrong, but it looks like I may have prejudged my opponents for the night, because they've both given me a gift! First we got Mr. Bert McAlroy. And he even wrote me a little note.

"Little Siddy - Saw you have a pair for in the ring, figured you could use some for, other activities. Grats. - Bert"

Sidroy unnecessarily shakes the gift before opening it quickly like a toddler on Christmas. He holds it up proudly, but with a confused look on his face.

Arthur La Forge: Are those…

Sidroy looks at his gift up and down quizzically, a pair of leather brown/black heavy duty knee pads.

COVINGTON: "Oh, knee pads… um, I've already got a pair that I wear wrestling but, that's sweet I suppose? I don't know what I'd use them for when not wrestling, I don't have a lot of activities that involve my knees."

Barnabus stands silently, contemplating telling Sidroy but opting not to.

COVINGTON: "OH WELL on to the next one."

He hucks the pads to the side and holds up the gift from Maggie,a small envelope. He removes a note from this one as well and reads it aloud.

"What do you get the guy who has everything? Congratulations, Champ. See you tonight. - M.L."

Sidroy smiles and opens the envelope, talking while he does.

COVINGTON: "I'm not usually a fan of envelope gifts, it's hard to fit Cadillac's in envelopes…

Oh, it's a coupon. '1 free… Happy Meal? From… Mc-... McDondalds?"

The crowd erupts in laughter and Sidroy turns to Barnabus bewildered.

BARNABUS: "Sir… you have to know what McDonald's is… right? The food establishment?"

COVINGTON: "Hmm, never heard of it. Is it like an offshoot brand of McAlroy? Regardless, if it was a gift from Maggz, I'm sure it's a lovely place."

Mary DeSue: This party is kind of… turning into a roast.

Arthur La Forge: I mean if he doesn't want it I'll take it, I think their still doing a Pokémon figure as the Happy Meal toy.

Sidroy reads the laughter in the room and pouts a bit, starting to realize he may have been had. He shakes it off and plasters on a fake smile, pointing to the big gift in the corner.

COVINGTON: "Alright Barnabus, let's get to the good stuff! I know this one is from you."

Sidroy begins to approach it, and Barnabus looks perplexed.

BARNABUS: "Master Covington I didn't give you that-"

Sidroy pulls the box from the box and the sides collapse, revealing Sidroys first challenger, the facepainted femme fatale known as “Queen Machine” Jenny. Before either Sidroy or Barnabus can react to her, she pounces forward, tackling the champion to the ground and mounting him, letting out a girlish giggle and planting a sloppy kiss on his forehead.

JENNY: Congratulations studmuffin! I knew you’d beat that handsome devil!

She rolls off the confused Sidroy and springs to her feet, dodging Barnabus’ attempt at grabbing her with a small “tut tut” as she prances towards the corner. She bounces up to the ropes and sits there, crosslegged, staring at Sidroy.

JENNY: You know studmuffin, you look better from up close than you do in those promotional pictures. Been kinda slapping myself for not investigating closer before.

Sidroy stays lying on the ground for a few moments, trying to figure out what just happened, before quickly rolling to his feet, but slips on the ribbon from the large package. He lands on his ass, and backs into the opposite corner of Jenny.

COVINGTON: "What, what the absolute heck are you doing out!? This, this is my celebration! My night! I-I-I…

He was interrupted by another bright giggle from the woman, who bounced down to her feet and with two quick steps was right next to Sidroy, patting his cheek.

JENNY: Relax studmuffin. I’m not here to do anything for you. Not tonight atleast. A girl needs to see what her partner is packing after all…

She begins tracing her finger up and down his chest before picking up the downed Wisdom championship and wraps it around his waist in a measured manner. She takes a few steps back and winks at Sidroy.

JENNY: Looking good there studmuffin! Just don’t get too attached to the title… Queenie needs her bling after all.

And with that, she blows a kiss to Sidroy and slips out of the ring, skipping and hopping backstage. Sidroy shakes his head and pouts, pretending to proudly adjust the Wisdom championship on his shoulder, but clearly besmirched. He motions to Barnabus for them both to leave.

Arthur La Forge: Well that didn't go exactly as Sidroy expected. Not even a single car gifted.

Mary DeSue: Yeah, disappointing really. My gift was the only good one!

Arthur La Forge: I don't know about that... Regardless we'll see more of this odd pairing of Sidroy and Jenny later tonight!

E. A. Blizzard vs. Don Tirri

Tirri and EAB square off against each other at first by locking up with EAB prevailing by placing Tirri in a headlock. Slingshotting Tirri forward into the ropes. Tirri bounces off and EAB sets up Tirri for a back body drop sending "The Finnish Thiccness" onto his back hard into the mat. EAB runs to the ropes and comes back as Tirri sits up. Snapmare! EAB gets up and heads to the ropes and bounces off waiting for Tirri to sit up again. Baseball slide like dropkick sending Tirri rolling out of the ring. EAB gets up and slams his fist onto his chest as the fans boo him punishing the former number one contender for the "Final Boss" title! Tirri starts to get up on the outside shaking off the cobwebs as he looks towards the ring. Do you believe a six foot nine man can fly? Cause we do here in LVL UP as EAB leaps thru the second and third rope and takes down Tirri with a flying shoulder tackle to the face! EAB grabs Tirri and rolls him into the ring as the referee starts a count on the outside. EAB climbs to the second rope and hits a second rope, the most dangerous rope, elbow drop right to the chest of Tirri. Cover...

One...

Nope. EAB gets up and shakes his head laughing. He's not done yet with THICC boy...

Arthur La Forge: He's like a freaking animal...toying with his food instead of being a real wrestler and just finishing him off early.

Mary De Sue: You're just mad about what he did to your previous girl in an adult woman's body...

Arthur La Forge: And what if he does that to your THICC Boy tonight?!

Mary De Sue: Like that's gonna happen...Come on TIRRI!!

EAB grabs Tirri and drops him down into an atomic drop! Tirri walks forward for a bit and EAB reaches up behind him and hits a neckbreaker! EAB gets up and poses again as the crowd continues to boo him. EAB grabs Tirri's arm, picks up Tirri, and tosses him into the ropes. "Crunch Time"!! The Bearhug is locked in and Tirri starts to swing wildly trying to get some leverage to get out of the hold! Tirri grabs EAB by the head and headbutts him! Once! Twice! Three times and EAB finally lets Tirri go...EAB stumbles for a moment as Tirri runs backwards to the ropes. Rebound. Lariat!! Tirri goes down to his knee's as EAB hits the mat for the first time in the match holding his head. Tirri goes over and drops an elbow onto the chest of EAB to keep the momentum going. He grabs EAB and lifts him up. EAB slams Tirri in the face with a right hand. Tirri returns with a left. Tirri catches EAB's right hand as EAB catches Tirri going for a second left as well. The two lock up in a test of strength and both aren't giving in or backing down at all. The fans get to their feet and start cheering on this test of strength as neither man is willing to budge!

Arthur La Forge: COME ON TIRRI!!

Mary De Sue: Oh you finally joined Team Thiccness!

Arthur La Forge: I'd rather be with Thicc than with EAB!

Mary De Sue: Stop. My fanfictions can only write themselves so much...

Arthur La Forge:...are you pairing me with Don Tirri?

Mary De Sue: OTP BAY BAYYYY!!

Tirri is holding his own, but not for long, after all he's giving about a fifty pound deficit to EAB. Tirri starts to give a few steps as EAB keeps trying to push forward. Finally this test of pure power is broken up by something that even these two men would agree is truly stronger...a knee to the face from EAB to Tirri's jaw! Tirri stumbles back as EAB runs forward. Tirri ducks a clothesline. EAB comes back on the rebound. Tirri ducks the clothesline again! EAB rushes forward and both men hit a double clothesline! Both men go down as the referee starts his count...

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Arthur La Forge: Both men have dealt and taken a lot of punishment in the past few minutes.

Mary De Sue: Come on Tirri! Show 'em your stamina THICCNESS!!

Five...

Six...

EAB gets up and grabs Tirri, pulling him up. EAB goes for a neckbreaker, but Tirri grabs the ropes for support and slides out of it as EAB hits the mat. Kick to the face by Tirri! EAB rolls with it and gets back on his feet as both men start trading punches back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. The ruckus gets the fans on their feet with both men showing why they could potentially be the "Power Champion" by showing their might with each shot! Both men miss a punch each and run to the ropes. The ref goes to change his position when suddenly Tirri goes for "Big Boot" and EAB hits his own big boot...on the ref! The falldown was purely unintentional! EAB grabs the Tirri and lifts him up..."It Rolls Downhill"! EAB goes over to the corner and grabs his briefcase. He eyes up a shot for Tirri, but see's the referee trying to pull himself up. EAB quickly drops the case and walks over to try and shake the referee up. The ref is still dazed and looking away as Tirri grabs the briefcase. He yells at EAB. EAB catches the case. "THE BOOT" INTO THE BRIEFCASE!! Tirri quickly slides the case out of the way and goes to pin EAB...Ref goes to count...

One...

Two...

Three!!

Mr. Rad: Here is your winner of this Skeleton Key Qualifier...Don Tirri!!

Arthur La Forge: Don Tirri is back in the title getting game here in Level Up with this impressive...albeit not totally fair win.

Mary De Sue: Ref didn't see it...it counts!

Tirri gets up and smiles for a moment feeling like he's getting back on top until he's taken out from behind by a running boot to the back of the head. EAB grabs his briefcase and slams it over and over and over again into the back of Tirri's head. EAB picks up Tirri. He kicks Tirri square in the nuts, grabs him by the throat and hits..."The Industry Standard" sending Tirri neckfirst down onto the briefcase! The case is smashed all to pieces but EAB doesn't care as he grabs the case and slams it one more time into Tirri's head.

Arthur La Forge: EAB may be out of the Power Tournament for now, but he made sure Tirri paid for it!

Mary De Sue: I'm beginning to really not like this guy...Someone check on My THICC FINN!

Teddy Warren and James Wilcox meet in the middle of the ring. Wilcox jaws away but Warren seems undeterred, going so far as to offer a friendly handshake to Wilcox. Wilcox sneers at the hand, looking out over the crowd..AND SLAPPING TEDDY WARREN ACROSS THE FACE!! Wilcox shouts at Warren who reaches up and favors his cheek before Wilcox piefaces him, shoving him away.

Arthur La Forge: James Wilcox is definitely showing his more...aggressive side.

Mary DeSue: Yeah, but this particular title seems to be more suited to him and his “Wizarding” ways.

Warren suddenly explodes forth, tackling Wilcox and taking him down with a double leg takedown! Warren is like a man possessed, raining down rights and lefts onto Wilcox’s smug face!! The ref begins his count as he gets to 4 he grabs Warren around the waist and drags him off of Wilcox who scrambles to the ropes and begins yelling at the ref for taking too long! Warren charges back in but Wilcox drops him over the top rope..Warren lands on the apron! Wilcox turns only to be hung up on the top rope!

Arthur La Forge: Uh oh!

Mary DeSue: That’s never a good place to be!

Wilcox falls back, grabbing his throat. As he does so, the ref goes to attend to him...ISAAC runs down to the ring! Warren sees him coming and leaps off the apron with an asaii moonsault..but Isaac catches him! Powerslam! He lifts Warren up once more, throwing him like a sack of potatoes into the ring steps! Warren crashes into and over them but the ref still attends to Wilcox!!

Arthur La Forge: You know...I think we at least need to administer an earthquake test for refs...CAUSE HOW DID YOU MISS THAT!!

Mary DeSue: See…#RICCIISRIGHT!

Isaac lifts Warren up, before nailing a backbreaker as an exclamation point! He then rolls Warren into the ring as the ref is none the wiser, and escapes into the crowd! Wilcox gets to his feet, spotting his man and the downed Warren he grins confidently and begins circling Warren, mocking him and driving the heel of his boot into one of his hands!

Arthur La Forge: That’s a hand cramp no one wants!

Mary DeSue: No one wants cramps. Ever.

Once again, the ref exhausts his count to four before Wilcox removes his boot, backing off with his hands raised in surrender.Warren gets to his feet, still reeling from the power of Isaac’s attack and favoring his hand. He steps up to Wilcox who piefaces him again, but Warren fires back with a slap of his own! Now the two are brawling! Wilcox gets a thumb to the eye in and ducks a wild haymaker..Warren turns in and...ADONIS SUPERKICK! WARREN MIGHT BE OUT! Wilcox favors the cheek where he was slapped, enraged he locks in the sharpshooter!! Middle of the ring! Nowhere to go! Warren is forced to tape out!!

Mr. Rad: Here is your winner of this Skeleton Key Qualifier...James Wilcox!

Arthur La Forge: “The Faction” picks up a win at poor Teddy’s expense.

Mary DeSue: You gotta be tough to be power champion Artie...you know that.

Eli Goode vs. Larry Tact

At the sound of the first bell Eli Goode practically leaps across the ring and begins to drive Tact back into a corner with stiff forearm shots to the side of his head and chops across the chest. As soon as Tact is in the corner, Goode begins driving his shoulder into Tact’s midsection but the bigger man snatches him and simply shoves him out of the corner before exploding out with a giant clothesline that levels Eli! Now Tact lifts him in a side headlock and begins to fire uppercuts into his face!

Arthur La Forge: Larry’s not living up to his name...more brutality than tactfulness.

Mary DeSue: Bigger guys don’t need to be tactful.

Tact shifts his grip and lifts Eli up with a big back suplex that shakes the ring. He rolls to his feet and begins to stomp a mudhole in Eli’s chest while Eli does his best to roll away and cover up. When he gets to the ropes, the ref backs Tact away from Goode who pulls himself up on the ropes. Tact charges in with a clothesline but Goode yanks the top rope down, sending Tact crashing to the outside! Eli gets up and as soon as Tact does he vaults over using the ropes and crashes into the bigger man with a slingshot dive!

Arthur La Forge: Desperation, but calculated payoff, maneuver by Eli Goode!

Mary DeSue: A good yank on a rope can send anyone flying…

Arthur La Forge: Um...

Mary DeSue: Don’t think about it to hard Artie...you’ll get a nosebleed.

Eli pulls Tact up and whips him as hard as he can into the guardrail, causing Tact to yell out in pain as the steel crashes into his back. Eli charges in and leaps with a lariat that sends them both crashing over the barrier! On the other side, Eli pulls the bigger man to his feet and nails a snap suplex that hangs Tact back over the guard rail!! Tact yells out again and begins trying to crawl away when Eli leaps up upon the guardrail, and leaps after Tact nailing a double foot stomp in the small of his back!!

Arthur La Forge: Eli seems to be finally getting his wrestling spirit back!

Mary DeSue: Well to be fair...one good break deserves another.

Now it’s Tact who is on his hands and knees trying to escape the fight as Eli panders to the cheering audience. Tact pulls himself up on the apron only for Eli to leap over and bash his face into it. He rolls Tact into the ring and follows, and begins to stalk him. As Tact gets up on his hands and knees, Goode goes for the Goode Lord but Tact evades! He shoots to his feet, finding his second wind and nailing Eli Goode with a thunderous spinebuster!!

Arthur La Forge: I felt that all the way over here! Eli’s gotta be hurting!

Mary DeSue: It’s the only way Larry’s ever gonna send chills down someone’s spine probably at his age.

Tact gets up and creates some distance, still favoring his back as Eli Goode finds himself staring up at the stadium lights, the wind knocked from his lungs with the impact. He rolls onto his stomach, still prone and trying to find all the oxygen that seems to have left the room. Tact yanks Eli up and...STARBREAKER!! But he isn’t done! Tact locks in the TACTFUL SURRENDER!! Eli Goode yells defiantly, struggling toward the ropes but he begins to fade...THE REF CALLS FOR THE BELL! ELI GOODE IS OUT COLD!

Mr. Rad: Here is your winner by knockout...advancing in the Skeleton Key Qualifiers...Larry Tact!

Arthur La Forge: Larry’s showing he’s not ready to be put out to pasture yet, but what a showing by Eli Goode.

Mary DeSue: Dude can’t catch a good break even if I gave him a kitkat bar.

Arthur La Forge: Stop it!

Bert McAlroy and Jenny opt to start things out, renewing their hostilities. However, Jenny looks like she wants to pounce Bert, who is more cautious and smarter than usual. They finally lock up and jockey for position, but as they are both similar size and build it's hard to gauge who has the advantage. Eventually Jenny is able to push Bert into the corner, where the referee makes her back off. She reaches out to pat Bert on the head condescendingly before skipping back to the center of the ring. Bert looks out to the crowd, almost as if to ask if they can believe the disrespect.

Arthur La Forge: I'm going to go out on a limb and say the 'Queen Machine' doesn't take Bert seriously.

Mary DeSue: Why should she?

Arthur La Forge: He's the #1 contender, beat Antonio Ricci and even beat Jenny.

Mary DeSue: Pffft, but what has he done TODAY?

McAlroy steps forward and Jenny tries to lock up again, but Bert tries a go-behind instead only for Jenny to reverse that. She pats him on the head again and he responds with a straight right hand to the face. He lifts her up and applies a headlock, but she steps on the back of his heel to loosen his grip and shoves him forward into the ropes. As he comes back, he hits her with a dropkick and drops down immediately to try for a pinfall.

One!

Jenny kicks out.

Arthur La Forge: Bert is really aggressive tonight, but even he has to know a single dropkick isn't going to do it.

Mary DeSue: You sure? Maybe he celebrated too hard after Combat Evolved...

Arthur La Forge: That was three weeks ago!

Mary DeSue: Do you know how much he could smoke in that time?!

The two get up and Jenny immediately grabs Bert's head and jumps up, nailing him with a headbutt. She then moves over and tags in Sidroy, who seems surprised that he's already in the match this early. As Jenny leaves she runs a hand over Sidroy's mustache, which seems to bother him a little, but he shakes it off and charges in at Bert, who immediately scoops him up and drops him down with a body slam. He goes for a quick cover on Sidroy..

ONE!

The Wisdom champion kicks out. So Bert immediately moves over and tags in Magdalena Lockheart.

Arthur La Forge: And here comes the Final Boss.

Mary DeSue: Pfft, she's not MY boss.

Arthur La Forge: No, but she is the top champion here.

Mary DeSue: #Tirriwasrobbed

Maggie comes in and kicks at the abdomen of Sidroy with the toe of her boot to double him over. She grabs him by the head and rams that into the top turnbuckle, before adding in a couple of quick chops. After that she tries an Irish whip, but he reverses. As she comes back he tries for a hiptoss, but she lands on her feet and then leaps backward with a Pele kick! She then applies a wristlock and twists the arm before tagging in Bert again.

Arthur La Forge: Nice, quick tags by Maggie and Bert. Sidroy and Jenny have yet to get out of the blocks in this one.

Mary DeSue: Creepy lady threw Siddy off his game! She doesn't even seem like she wants to win, just bother Sid!

Arthur La Forge: Maybe. Jenny's not built like other people.

Bert comes in and takes over on the wristlock, perhaps the first time he's ever used one, and applies some kicks to the abdomen of Sidroy to maintain control. He twists the arm around and tags Maggie back in, who kicks Sidroy again. Covington in particular seems annoyed that by the switching and the kicks, which may be the gameplan. Maggie moves over but before she can do anything, Sidroy reaches up and headbutts her chin, then hits an enziguri when he's created some space! He then backs up, points at her and looks to do something else, but Jenny immediately reaches over and tags herself back in.

Mary DeSue: What?!

Arthur La Forge: Sidroy finally started to get things going in his favor just a little bit and now it seems Jenny wants in.

Mary DeSue: Maybe...I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and say she just wants to keep a fresh person in.

Arthur La Forge: Or she's just trying to mess with Sid some more.

Maggie is starting to get up, when Jenny leaps forward and snaps off a Jennycanrana! She then holds out arm of the champion and begins to stomp on it, before looking at Sidroy and blowing a kiss. Jenny adds another stomp to the shoulder of Lockheart before tagging in Covington, who begins to stomp away on the arm himself. She even holds it down for a kick before leaving.

Mary DeSue: Aha!

Arthur La Forge: What?

Mary DeSue: She's setting her up for Sidroy's submission!

Arthur La Forge: But..why would she do that?

Sidroy doesn't question the gift he's been given and continues kicking at Lockheart before pulling her up onto the ropes. He ties the arm around the middle rope and begins to wrench at it, while listening carefully to the referee's five count to break. He does so at four, but immediately begins to stomp away again. As Maggie is still tied up in the ropes, the referee backs Sidroy off...and behind his back Jenny drops down and yanks her arm against the rope!

Arthur La Forge: Oh come on!

Mary DeSue: Oh I like this! They're finally figuring out how to work together!

Arthur La Forge: Yeah, at the expense of the rules!

Bert on the other side doesn't seem very happy but doesn't try to break the rules to get in. Sidroy goes to the outside as Lockheart lays on the apron, yanking her shoulder down onto the apron! She rolls in the ring to escape but Sidroy follows her in and actually tries for a pin.

One!

Two!

Maggie kicks out, and as she does, Sidroy grabs the arm and applies the FFB! He's on his half of the ring and has a submission on the champion!

Arthur La Forge: Can you imagine if the Wisdom Champion made the Final Boss Champion tap out here?

Mary DeSue: It would prove his title is better!

Arthur La Forge: At the very least, it would change the complexion of Dead by Daylight.

They're still close enough to the ropes that Lockheart is able to get a leg on them, breaking the hold. Jenny reaches down and tags herself in, then comes over and ties Lockheart's arm on the ropes again before kicking at the shoulder wildly. The referee admonishes her again, warning a DQ if they don't get the champion away from the ropes. So instead Jenny grabs the arm and attempts some sort of an armbar, but before she can, Lockheart slips out and tries to get to her feet. This leads to Jenny grabbing the arm and snapping it down towards the canvas, before tagging Sidroy back in.

Arthur La Forge: Jenny and Sidroy have a solid strategy, but there's a reason Lockheart hasn't been pinned or submitted in Level Up yet.

Mary DeSue:: Yeah, #DonTirriWasRobbed

Arthur La Forge: You're not going to get that trending no matter how hard you try.

Sidroy comes in and grabs at the bad arm, but Maggie retaliates by hitting a back elbow with her good arm. He tries again and she gets a step-up enziguri! This causes her to land on the bad arm but both fighters are down. Bert begins bouncing on the apron, as he can feel a tag coming. Lockheart gets up but Sidroy grabs at the leg to stop her. However her leg is just fine, so she spins around on it and jumps up, kicking Covington in the chest, before getting back jumping out and tagging in McAlroy!

Arthur La Forge: Here we go!

Mary DeSue: Oh great. Hooray. woo. Bert.

Bert comes rushing in and greets the Wisdom champion with a punch to the face. Jenny starts to come in and he runs over and hits her with one as well to knock her outside. He throws Sidroy into the ropes and as the champion bounces back, Bert jumps up and hits him with the dropkick! Sidroy gets up and swings wildly, out of character for him, but McAlroy takes advantage and ducks it, before grabbing his head and jumping forward with a bulldog! He goes for a cover!

One!

Two!

Jenny breaks it up!

Arthur La Forge: Jenny came in to save the match for her team!

Mary DeSue: And you said she didn't want to win.

Arthur La Forge: I don't know what she wants but she's not letting Sidroy lose just yet.

This gets the attention of the Final Boss who, bad arm and all, jumps back into the fray and charges at Jenny, hitting a leaping forearm that knocks her down and out through the ropes. Bert turns his attention back to Sidroy and looks to hit the 'Bong Water' superkick, but the distraction allowed Sidroy time to recover and he moves out of the way! Bert gets tangled in the ropes and Covington charges at Lockheart for a Covington Cave-In, but Maggie ducks down and Sidroy's knees hit the turnbuckle instead! As he ricochets off, Jenny gets back up and tags herself in! She runs in and hits a low dropkick on Maggie, then another on Bert, before hitting him with Bow Down!

Mary DeSue: Woo! Yas Queen!

Arthur La Forge: I hate you for saying that.

Mary DeSue: I dig Jenny now, what can I say?

Jenny doesn't go for the pin on Bert, however, and turns her attention to Lockheart, licking her lips. She runs in but Maggie does a spinning side-step to avoid it, then jumps up and hits Jenny with Meteora! She then runs and dives out at Covington with a TOPE SUICIDA! Jenny gets up and staggers right into a BONG WATER FROM BERT! He collapses back into the turnbuckle and sticks a hand out, almost knowing that Lockheart is already getting back up, and she makes the tag. Maggie rushes in as Jenny is pushing herself up and hits the BLACK LEGACY! The champion covers!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Mr. Rad: Here are your winners...Bert McAlroy and the FINAL BOSS CHAMPION, MAGDALENA LOCKHEART!

Mary DeSue: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

Arthur La Forge: Some mistimed moves from the other side and the main event of Dead by Daylight was able to capitalize and win!

Mary DeSue: Wasn't she supposed to be cursed in these types of matches?

Arthur La Forge: Apparently the curse has lifted.

Jenny rolls out to ringside where Sidroy is there, shouting at her for losing. Jenny holds the back of her head and doesn't seem particularly pleased with his reaction, AND DROPS SIDROY ON THE FLOOR WITH THE CROWNING! A stunned Barnabus stands nearby with the Wisdom championship on a pillow, and Jenny glares at him before snatching the belt and walking up the ramp with it!

Mary DeSue: Okay I hate her again THAT IS NOT YOURS!

Arthur La Forge: It seems possession is 9/10s of the Queen's Law!

Mary DeSue: She's gonna get her stink all over it! Siddy didn't deserve that!

As the referees tend to Sidroy on the floor, Bert can be seen leaning in a corner, trying to catch his breath. He watches Magdalena Lockheart step out of the ring and begin to leave for a second, but signals for a microphone. He motions for the timekeeper to hurry up, before snatching the stick and marching toward the ropes after Maggie.

Bert McAlroy: Yo, yo, yo, yo Champ. Nuh uh. We aren’t done, Inked monthly november 2015.

The crowd pops and laughs at Bert. Magdalena stops dead in her tracks, turning back with an eyebrow arched at her now former partner.

Bert McAlroy: I got some shit to say, to clear up and set down between you n’ me. Right now, save some time between now and Dead by Daylight.

Maggie climbs up onto the apron and appears to be willing to listen, but suddenly the lights go out.

Mary DeSue: Oh geez, Raab’s not coming back out here is he?

Arthur La Forge: I don't know...maybe Mr. Rad is still angry about earlier tonight.

The lights come back on and ANTONIO RICCI IS STANDING IN THE RING!

Mary DeSue: RICCI IS BACK!

Arthur La Forge: I thought he quit!

Ricci is standing behind Bert, which means Lockheart sees him and McAlroy doesn't. Maggie attempts to get into the ring but it's already too late and Ricci HITS BERT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH COMA-TOES! McAlroy doesn't know what hits him as he collapses down to the mat. Lockheart gets into the ring and starts to come forward but she's tired and Ricci isn't, and he spins around and CONNECTS WITH A COMA-TOES ON HER AS WELL! She is knocked down next to McAlroy and Ricci stands over both of them.

Arthur La Forge: What in the hell was that all about?! He quit! He shouldn't be here!

Mary DeSue: Oh I think I know...

Ricci looks down and smirks, before grabbing Lockheart's belt and picking it up. He stares at it for a moment, then tosses it down between his fallen victims as the show cuts out…
